The last 4 years have been outstanding for the ACU. Ultrarunning has taken the athletics world by storm and the recognition of the sport in the international arena has increased tremendously.

There has been an increase in the number of ultrarunning races around the world and also in the IAU-endorsed world events on an annual basis.

The ACU has been delegated the sole governance of ultrarunning from Athletics Canada and is now the sole responsible for managing ultrarunning at a national level in Canada. Amongst its many responsibilities, the association is responsible for coordinating the national race series and selecting runners to the national team.

The Executive is coming to the end of their elected term and it is time for National elections. It is your association and it is yours to be involved in.

Armand Leblanc, Nadeem Khan and Sue Lucas have provided outstanding leadership and commitment during these formidable years and have put Canada on the ultrarunning map.
